I’m currently trying to set up a small PostgreSQL database server with Debian Linux and I would like to do everything from another machine.
The network we’re using is sterile, all the computers access our corporate intranet and internet via proxy and all the computers have anti malware/virus/blablabla software installed.
What are the configurations that need to be changed so I can have full access to the PostgreSQL server?
I already have a SSH server working and running correctly and I already managed to allow database connections from other computers by editing the file postgresql.conf
But now pgAdminIII gives a FATAL error: no entry on pg_hba.conf
I tried editing the file manually but that was a really bad idea, when I tried to restart the server, it would fail when trying to get the parameters from pg_hba.conf.
After fixing the conf file I just started losing hope.
What am I doing wrong? Is setting up a SQL server supposed to be THIS hard? I mean, FTP servers weren’t this hard! Heck, making a router out of a linux box wasn’t so hard!
You normally do edit this file manually and if you want to let everyone access you add something like
to it. By convention it does not qualify for being this hard.
